Bench period at TCS

Hi folks,

I recently have joined TCS after switching from another company. I have two years of experience. What is the bench period they allow in TCS? What if I say no to the projects which don't suit my profile?

No there is no such thing. But if you stay on bench for very long like more than a year then they will find many reasons to forcefully resign you like RTO complains, salary suspension, working hours maintenance, location transfers, all these will make you mentally and physically tired. My suggestion is to accept the suitable project as soon as possible(mostly you will get based on your primary skill set only). My intention is not to threaten you but giving you a headsup after seeing all these in my 3 years of exp in Tcs. All the best brother.

Thanks bro. I'll not wait for that much long. I just got onboarded yesterday and haven't received a laptop and I card yet. Still I started recieving project calls on my phone from today itself. That's why I'm little scared if I don't get allocation after they offered calls, would they revoke my offer. But you cleared my doubt. Thanks brother 😃

You can reject the projects which you dont like, but be careful because for the intial couple of months you will get maximum no of project calls and later you wont even get a single call very rarely you will get. Eventually you will get the bad ratings and band from Rmg, sometimes they will suspend your salary. All the above cases i have seen and seeing practically.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. And is there any bench policy like after certain days on bench they start laying off?
